Thinking of buying one to haul vintage cars and maybe a 911 from time to time...

I have used an open trailex, and while the 911 fits, it puts negative pressure on the hitch. I guess it needs to be backed on, or a longer trailer with the wheels further back.

Or ballast.

That must be some strange geometry. My Aluma isn't huge, but I've got good tongue weight.

I have one of the shortest (maybe the shortest) modeals of open Trailex, for my 911 and 993. The axles can be positioned for front engine or rear engine apps., if positioned correctly tongue weight will be fine.

Single axle trailers are not car haulers.
